16-Position Filter Wheel
From: Applied Scientific Instrumentation Inc.
ASI’s FW-1000 16-position filter wheel utilizes a closed-loop DC servomotor to provide high speed and low vibration operation (less than 3 × 10−4 kg-m2/s maximum vibration torque impulse). It employs a high-resolution rotary encoder for positional feedback and utilizes nonvolatile flash memory to store programmable filter sequences and delays. It is great for use in many fluorescence microscopy applications.
